    Take A Letter, Miss Smith
    Performer(s): Fran Warren & Tony Martin



    Take a letter, Miss Smith
    Yes sir
    You’re typin’ better, Miss Smith
    You know best, sir
    A little closer, my dear
    But I can hear you from here
    Back to business, Miss Smith
    Yes sir

    Just write “My dear Mr. Brown”
    Got it
    Say, what’s his address in town?
    I forgot it
    Why, that’s a lovely perfume
    They call it ‘two in a room’
    Er, back to business, Miss Smith
    Yes sir

    Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
    Gee, Miss Smith, you’re awfully pretty
    Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock
    Hey boss, you can call me ‘Smitty’
    You’re getting thinner, Miss Smith
    Yes sir
    You need some dinner, Miss Smith
    You know best, sir
    I’ll pick you up about eight
    I promise not to be late
    And we’ll leave the rest to fate
    Yes sir

    Well, good morning, Miss Smith
    Hi boss
    Why’re you yawning, Miss Smith?
    You know why, boss
    The clock struck one at your door
    You hung around until four
    Back to business, Miss Smith
    Er, yes sir

    Now, just write, er “My dear Mr. Brown”
    Right boss
    We really covered the town
    What a night, boss!
    I liked that wonderful show
    I liked the very last row
    Ahem, er, back to business
    Er, yes boss

    Now write this: “Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
    Smitty, your eyes are gleaming
    “Dear Mr. Brown, in regard to that stock”
    Gee, boss, I was only dreaming

    Getting tired, Miss Smith?
    Oh, yes sir
    Well, you’re fired, Miss Smith
    You know best, sir
    But I would like to know why
    We’re getting married, you and I
    Tell me, what is your reply?
    Yes sir
    Do I need book and pencil, too?
    All I’ll ever need is you
    You have taken your very last letter, Miss Smith
    Yes sir!

    Morningside
    Composer(s): Neil Diamond
    Performer(s): Neil Diamond;
    Marcus Dagan; Dennis Pavao



    Morningside, the old man died
    And no one cried, they simply turned away
    And when he died
    He left a table filled with nails and pride
    And with his hands he carved these words inside
    "For my children"

    Morning light, morning bright
    I spent the night with dreams that make you weep
    Morning time
    Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
    For I recall the words an old man signed
    "For my children"

    And the legs were shaped with his hands
    And the table made with oaken wood
    And the children that sat around this table
    Touched it with their laughter, and that was good

    Morningside, the old man died
    And no one cried, he surely died alone
    And truth is sad
    For not a child would claim the gift he had
    The words he carved became his epitaph......
    "For my children"

    Girl Talk
    French Title: Dansez Sur Moi - 1973
    Composer(s): Neal Hefti; Bobby Troup
    First release by: Julie London & The Gerald Wilson Big Band - 1965
    Covered by multiple other artists



    They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
    They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight
    Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
    Become essential things that women find so apropos
    But that's a dame
    They're all the same
    It's just a game
    They call it girl talk, girl talk
    They all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all their friends
    The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends
    The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold
    But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold
    So baby stay, and gab away
    But hear me say
    That after girl talk
    Talk to me
    But that's a dame
    They're all the same
    It's just a game
    They call it girl talk, girl talk
    So baby stay, and gab away
    But hear me say
    That after girl talk
    Talk to me

    Take A Letter Maria
    ((French Version: Envoie La Lettre Maria (Eddy Mitchell) - 1969))
    Composer(s): R.B. Greaves
    First release by: R.B. Greaves - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Last night as I got home about a half past ten
    There was the woman I thought I knew
    In the arms of another man
    I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
    Let me tell you what happened then
    I packed some clothes and I walked out
    And I ain't going back again

    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

    You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
    And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me
    Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good lif
    All work and no play has just cost me a wife

    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

    When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
    That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
    I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
    It just so happens I'm free tonight
    Would you like to have dinner with me

    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

    So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
    Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

    Composer(s): R.B. Greaves - Eddy Mitchell
    Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1969



    Hier
    J'ai vu mourir
    Un grand amour fait pour durer
    L'un de mes meilleurs amis
    A détruit son bonheur passé
    Il est parti de chez lui
    Et s'est rendu à son bureau
    Sa secrétaire se leva
    Mon ami lui dicta ces mots

    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà
    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà

    C'est dur
    De vivre à deux
    Sans jamais connaître l'ennui
    L'habitude d'être heureux
    A lassé mon meilleur ami
    Il veut
    Changer de vie
    Et connaître d'autres aventures
    Quant à sa femme
    Il l'oublie
    Et provoque ainsi la rupture

    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà
    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà

    Sa course
    Au bonheur
    N'est pourtant pas prêt de finir
    Il ferme
    Son coeur
    Et n'en finit plus de mentir
    Il est parti de chez lui
    Et s'est rendu à son bureau
    Sa secrétaire se leva
    Mon ami lui dicta ces mots

    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà
    Envoie la lettre Maria
    Adressée à ma femme
    Demain quant elle la lira
    Nous serons loin déjà

    Morning Morgantown
    Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
    Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



    When morning comes to Morgantown
    The merchants roll their awnings down
    The milktrucks make their morning rounds
    In morning Morgantown

    We'll rise up early, with the sun
    To ride the bus while everyone is yawning
    And the day is young
    In morning Morgantown

    Morning Morgantown
    Buy your dreams a dollar down
    Morning any town you name
    Morning's just the same

    We'll find a table in the shade
    And sip our tea and lemonade
    And watch the morning on parade
    In morning Morgantown

    Ladies in their rainbow fashions
    Colored stop and go lights flashing
    We'll wink at total strangers passing
    In morning Morgantown

    Morning Morgantown
    Buy your dreams a dollar down
    Morning any town you name
    Morning's just the same

    I'd like to buy you everything
    A wooden bird with painted wings
    A window full of colored rings
    In morning Morgantown

    But the only thing I have to give
    To make you smile, to win you with

    Are all the mornings still to live

    In morning Morgantown

    Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers;
    The Happenings; Bob Miranda



    I stand out of sight
    And watch as the light from the sun
    Shines through her hair

    From yonder she came
    I don't know her name
    Still I love that girl on a swing

    Girl on a swing, swing high
    Girl on a swing, swing low
    Take all the hate from the world that we're in
    Girl on a swing, swing high
    Girl on a swing, swing low
    And you can cast all your troubles to the wind

    She comes with the light
    Then goes with the night
    My heart just yearns
    But then comes the dawn
    And she returns

    Girl on a swing, swing high
    Girl on a swing, swing low
    Take all the hate from the world that we're in
    Girl on a swing, swing high
    Girl on a swing, swing low
    And you can cast all your troubles to the wind

    First release by: The Monkees - 1966
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Though you've played at love and lost
    And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
    I will melt your heart again
    Remember the feeling as a child
    When you woke up and morning smiled
    It's time you felt like you did then
    There's just no percentage in remembering the past
    It's time you learned to live again at last

    Come with me, leave yesterday behind
    And take a giant step outside your mind

    You stare at me in disbelief
    You say for you there's no relieve
    But I swear I'll prove you wrong
    Don't stay in your lonely room
    Just staring back in silent gloom
    That's not where you belong
    Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green
    And everyday holds wonders to be seen

    Come with me, leave yesterday behind
    And take a giant step outside your mind

    Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn



    Wind chimes flicker
    Brittle corners slide away
    Smile back at the day
    Shadows flying
    Like the mist before the sun

    See the sadness run
    Silk-spun web of pearls
    Glistens in the grass in summer
    North wind changes all the fields
    To dazzling glass in winter

    Come near to me
    Hear this song I sing to you
    are you singing, too?

    Morning has broken like the first morning
    blackbird has spoken like the first bird
    Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
    Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

    Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven
    like the first dewfall on the first grass
    Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
    sprung in completeness where God's feet pass

    Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
    born of the one light Eden saw play!
    Praise with elation, praise every morning
    God's recreation of the new day!

    If you put me to the test
    If you let me try

    Take a chance on me (that's all I ask of you, honey)
    Take a chance on me

    We can go dancing (oh)
    We can go walking (yeah)
    As long as we're together (long as we're together)
    Listen to some music (oh)
    Maybe just talking (yeah)
    Get to know you better (get to know you better)
    'Cause you know I've got
    So much that I wanna do
    When I dream I'm alone with you
    It's magic
    You want me to leave it there
    Afraid of a love affair
    But I think you know
    That I can't let go

    If you change your mind (take a chance ...)
    I'm the first in line
    Honey, I'm still free
    Take a chance on me
    If you need me, let me know
    Gonna be around
    If you've got no place to go
    When you're feeling down

    If you're all alone
    When the pretty birds have flown
    Honey, I'm still free
    Take a chance on me
    Gonna do my very best
    And it ain't no lie
    If you put me to the test
    If you let me try

    Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will you?)
    Take a chance on me

    Oh, you can take your time, baby (oh)
    I'm in no hurry (yeah)
    Know I'm gonna get you (know I'm gonna get you)
    You don't wanna hurt me (oh)
    Baby, don't worry (yeah)
    I ain't gonna let you (I ain't gonna let you)
    Let me tell you now
    My love is strong enough
    To last when things are rough
    It's magic
    You say that I waste my time
    But I can't get you off my mind
    No, I can't let go
    'Cause I love you so

    If you change your mind (take a chance ...)
    I'm the first in line
    Honey, I'm still free
    Take a chance on me
    If you need me, let me know
    Gonna be around
    If you've got no place to go
    When you're feeling down

    If you're all alone
    When the pretty birds have flown
    Honey, I'm still free
    Take a chance on me
    Gonna do my very best
    Baby can't you see
    Gotta put me to the test
    Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

    Ba-ba ba ba ba
    Ba-ba ba ba ba
    Honey, I'm still free
    Take a chance on me
    Gonna do my very best
    Baby can't you see
    Gotta put me to the test
    Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

    Morning Glory
    Composer(s): Larry Beckett; Tim Buckley
    Performer(s): Tim Buckley
    Covered by various other artists



    I lit my purest candle
    close to my window
    hoping it would catch the eye
    of any vagabond who had passed it by
    and I waited in my fleeting house

    Before he came
    I felt him drawing near
    Asked him in
    I felt the ancient fear
    that he had come to my door and jeered
    and I waited in my fleeting house

    Tell me stories, I called to the hobo
    Stories of Cold, I smiled to the hobo
    Stories of old, I knelt to the hobo
    and he stood before me
    in my fleeting house

    No, said the hobo
    no more tales of time
    don't ask me now to wash away the grime
    I can't come in 'cause
    it's too hard a climb
    and he walked away from my fleeting house

    Then you'll be damned
    I screamed to the hobo
    Leave me alone, I wept to the hobo
    Turn into stone, I knelt to the hobo
    and he walked away from my fleeting house

    I lit my purest candle
    Close to my window
    hoping it would catch the eye
    of any vagabond who passed it by
    and I waited in my fleeting house

    Girl Goodbye
    Composer(s): David Paich
    Performer(s): Toto



    Well I’m out on the road, and the devil’s got my soul
    And I’m looking for the lord in New York city

    Yeah I’m out on the run, got some heat, got a gun
    If they don’t find me soon, it’ll be a damn pity

    So it’s

    Chorus:
    Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
    It’s so hard to see the truth with the sun in your eyes
    Goodbye girl, goodbye girl, girl goodbye
    Must be in the way that she cries, must be in the way that she cries
    Must be in the way that she cries

    Oh there’s smoke in the air and there’s blood everywhere
    But I’m hoping that the white man don’t recognize me

    I’m so sorry what I’ve done, and I say it not in fun
    When I tell you that there’s no one left inside me

    And it’s - chorus

    So it’s - chorus

    ((Dutch Version: Kies Kip! (Pieter-Jan De Smet) - 2003))

    Oh j'ai trouvé le livre magique
    Y a tout dedans, c'est logique
    Génial, Carabosse n'a qu'à bien se tenir
    Restons logiques, la Belle doit nous attendre au château
    Allez, en route
    Oh oui en route, je ne veux pas rater le bal

    On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
    Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
    Il y a cinq notes de musique
    Qu'un seul mot pour ça
    Voilà la formule magique
    Abbacadabra

    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
    On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
    On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

    Trois lunes dans le ciel, c'est presque irréel
    Et personne ne sait comment
    On tourne les pages du pays des images
    Entre l'espace et le temps
    Mais ce n'est pas tout
    Les murs ne tiennent pas debout
    Le soleil tourne autour de nous
    En musique
    J'ai la clef du monde enchanté
    Un lapin blanc me l'a donnée
    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

    On n'a plus la trouille de la Carabosse
    Avec une citrouille on fait un carrosse
    Il y a cinq notes de musique
    Qu'un seul mot pour ça
    Et le pays merveilleux
    On y est déja
    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
    On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
    On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

    C'est vraiment génial
    J'vois les cartes postales
    Que j'enverrai à ma petite sœur
    Mais ce n'est pas tout
    On est collés jusqu'à six heures
    Si on rentre pas chez nous à l'heure
    Dramatique
    Vous serez déjà revenus à la fin de la retenue
    Abbacadabra, venez avec moi

    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
    On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
    On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra

    Abbacadabra, abbacadabra
    On ferme les yeux, on ouvre les bras
    On avance de quatre pas, on compte jusqu'à trois
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà
    Et le pays merveilleux, on y est déjà

    Morning Girls
    Performer(s): Maddy Prior and The Answers



    Soft focus on the lady who gets up late
    In languid and sleepy state
    Lashings of eau de toilette
    Perfumes of faint violet
    Slinky silky Crêpe de Chine
    Nothing ever petty or mean
    Tracing fingers on her pillow
    Where the lawn runs down to the willow
    And the river flows gently on
    Singing a skylark summer song

    Working girls are early to rise
    Cold tile floor and sleep in their eyes
    The working day begins
    When the alarm bell rings
    Fumble for something clean to wear
    Scraping a brush through unwashed hair
    Pull on a dress
    An old pair of tights
    Patch up make up
    From last night
    A fast breakfast of cornflakes and toast
    Catch the news
    Running for the bus in the rain
    Waiting for the eight o'clock train

    Morning Girls
    Morning Girls
    Morning Girls
    Morning Girls

    Morning sickness throwing up
    How much must you give up
    Will it ruin your career
    Must you finish school this year
    Is it wanted
    Were you caught
    Time for joy
    Or time to abort
    Take the strain of getting fat
    Take the pain are you ready for that

    Woken by a baby needing a drink
    Scheming by the cooker and kitchen sink
    Visions of the supermarket
    Brought home in an empty basket
    Fantasies of a hoover day drone
    Leisurely cleaning a spotless home
    Dreams of fame and fortune
    While tidying up the front room
